Completed in 1854, the Farmers? and Exchange Bank is a historic building in Charleston, South Carolina. It was designed by Edward C. Jones and Francis D. Lee in the very notable and distinctive Moorish Revival style that still helps the structure stand out up until now. It is said to be the only example of the style that evolved from the influence of the English Regency architecture.
The Farmers? and Exchange Bank functioned initially as a bank. If you do a quick search on the internet about it, you?ll find sites selling collector items of the bills and coins that the bank released as slave currency and such back in the days.
The Farmers? and Exchange Bank was declared as a National Historic Landmark in 1973.
